In Maharashtra Kokanastha is used to refer to the Chitpavans. I think this is a misnomer - in the Konkan you have Devrukhes and Karhades who should qualify as Kokanastha too, but this maybe a reflection of the dominance of the Chitpavans in Konkan or maybe they were the first sect to settle in the Konkan ?
